1. Brief Multi-Band Explanation Conversion of Raw Data to FSL/AFNI Format

2. GE: DV25 Software Example: Multi-Band Factor = 3 Slices visible in
final Rx = 10

3. GE: DV26 Software Example: Multi-Band Factor = 3 Slices visible in
final Rx = 30

4. 1 2 3 Actual slices collected=30 MB Factor = 3 (simple example)
(DV25 and DV26) 1 2 3
MB Factor = 3
(simple example)

15. dcm2niix
run on multi-band dicom data (DV25)

16. dcm2niix on MB data (DV25)
Dicom data from a single time point consists of
overlapping brain images from different spatial locations

17. Automatic Reconstruction Pipeline
DV25
Automatic Reconstruction Pipeline
Reconstructed data are available on the scanner in /export/home1/007/P(Date)_(Series).nii.gz
and can be copied to user accounts using our standard “cfmricp” data transfer script

18. DV26 Scanner Software dcm2niix
Raw aliased data will be reorganized on the scanner
Dicom files generated can be processed in the same way that non-MB data are handled
